Structural characterization and mechanical properties of wet-processed fibreboard based on chemo-thermomechanical pulp, furanic resin and cellulose nanocrystals (2019)
Journal Article
Popescu, C., Jones, D., Schalnat, J., Segerholm, K., Henriksson, M., & Westin, M. (2020). Structural characterization and mechanical properties of wet-processed fibreboard based on chemo-thermomechanical pulp, furanic resin and cellulose nanocrystals. Int

Fibreboards are made of lignocellulosic fibres and synthetic adhesive which connect them. These synthetic adhesives, while relatively low-cost, are usually non-biodegradable and may cause health and environmental issues. Therefore, in recent years, t...

Determination of the effectiveness of a combined thermal/chemical wood modification by the use of FT–IR spectroscopy and chemometric methods (2019)
Journal Article
Popescu, C., Jones, D., Kržišnik, D., & Humar, M. (2020). Determination of the effectiveness of a combined thermal/chemical wood modification by the use of FT–IR spectroscopy and chemometric methods. Journal of Molecular Structure, 1200, Article 12713

In this study, the combined effects of chemical (with tricine and bicine) and thermal treatments were investigated. The modifications which appeared in the wood structure were evaluated by infrared spectroscopy and chemometric methods (principal comp...

Quantification of chemical changes taking place in spruce wood structure following long period thermal treatment (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Popescu, C., Ridley-Ellis, D., & Popescu, M. (2019, August). Quantification of chemical changes taking place in spruce wood structure following long period thermal treatment. Paper presented at 2DCOS-10, The 10th International Symposium on Two-dimensional

Wood is a natural composite polymer containing different amounts of cellulose, lignin and hemicelluloses and some other low molecular compounds (i.e. extractives). Due to its structure wood is susceptible to degradation in the surrounding environment...
